TRUMP: One of my 'real dreams' is to convince Apple to move its jobs to the US

Real-estate mogul Donald Trump said Thursday night that one of
his "real dreams" for the US is for Apple and companies like it
to shift their manufacturing operations to the US.

The Republican presidential front-runner made the comments during
a wide-ranging interview while promoting his campaign book,
"Crippled America," at his Trump Tower headquarters.

One of the questions was how Trump would convince big companies
like Apple to move production jobs away from other countries and
to the US.

"I love that question because we think of Apple as an American
company," Trump replied. "But they make their product in China.
And they have offices here but China makes more money with Apple
than we do, if you think about it."

Trump added: "And we have to bring Apple — and other
companies like Apple — back to the United States. We have to do
it. And that's one of my real dreams for the country, to get …
them back. We have a great capacity in this country."

The billionaire businessman pivoted to criticize China and Japan
for manipulating their currencies, one of his favorite topics on
the campaign trial.

"If you think about it, they have an advantage in a lot of ways.
First of all, they manipulate the hell out of their currency,
which just kills us. It makes it so hard to compete. I will
get them to stop," Trump said. "But we have advantages because
the shipping costs and the costs of what they do over there is so
enormous."
